5:55am - INTERNATIONAL ANIMAL HEALTH HANDICAP | 1300m | | i

Everything stacks up well for Godolphin;s Vashka in this BM 75 over 1300m. He didn't make the field last week and the eventual winner of that race was Commanding Wit, a mare he beat convincingly last start. If on-pace and inside runners are favoured and it's not too wet (has misfired on Heavy) he will be right in the finish. It is not cut and dry though, given he'll be joined on the speed by some very genuine gallopers in Perfect Weapon, One More and the super-tough Maddhal. All three have the tenacity to cause Blake Shinn some problems if the conditions suit. If the leaders go to hard, chasing from the back will be Valcot, Magic Dallas, Specific Choice and Richard The First. Magic Dallas always delivers and looks a good place bet, while Specific Choice is only for the very trusting punter. Another great betting race.
